New Schnucks Planned for Northern Vanderburgh Co.

On the heels of controversial plans to build a Wal-Mart at State Road 57 and Boonville-New Harmony Rd., just a few minutes down the road, plans to construct a Schnucks may be coming to fruition.

Tonight, the Area Plan Commission approved plans to rezone a residential property on Highway 41, north of Boonville-New Harmony Rd. The area will serve as a Highway 41 access point for the future Schnucks store that will be located near there.

Rumors of a Schnucks coming to the area have been swirling for years. That rezoning request will go before the Vanderburgh County Commisioners at their next meeting.
